Lu Changsheng, after sparring with Jiang Yu, Buddha Lord Xingwang, and others, faced the Sect Master of Divine Lightning Sect and no longer found him a troublesome opponent.
Lu Changsheng vanished from where he stood and appeared beside the Sect Master of Divine Lightning Sect, unleashing the Primordial Heaven-Splitting Fist. The Sect Master was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing harshly into a mountain and going straight through it.
“Damn it…”
The Sect Master of Divine Lightning Sect crawled out, and the next moment, Lu Changsheng appeared again, landing another punch.
Boom!
The Sect Master was hit by another punch from Lu Changsheng and sent flying once more.
The Sect Master of Divine Lightning Sect, in all his dignity as a Sect Master, was being beaten mercilessly like a sandbag.
The many Supreme Elders and disciples of the Divine Lightning Sect watched, dumbstruck, as their esteemed Sect Master was being thrashed.
Murong Lan was even more shocked.
She had not expected that Xiao Fan’s master possessed such high cultivation.
Her own master stood no chance in front of Xiao Fan’s master, completely devoid of any power to retaliate.
“Ancestor, I cannot match him, save me!”
The Sect Master of Divine Lightning Sect, his True Qi scattered, called out desperately for help.
In the back mountain of Divine Lightning Sect, a terrifying aura surged, and an elder with white hair appeared.
“An Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouse? Does Divine Lightning Sect have such a hidden expert?”
Grandmaster Tailin’s expression changed as he sensed the aura emanating from the back mountain.
Holy Lands are indeed few in number, but besides them, there are a great many Cultivator Clans, ordinary sects, Cultivation Dynasties, and Loose Cultivators. The number of Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouses born from these numerous cultivators is not small.
However, no one expected that Divine Lightning Sect had an Immortal Emperor Realm expert secluded in the back mountain, using much of the sect’s resources.
“This person was the former Sect Master of our Divine Lightning Sect!”
“Wasn’t he said to have reached the end of his lifespan and passed away long ago?”
“Our Divine Lightning Sect truly deserves to be the first grand sect of the Great Qian Dynasty, to have an Immortal Emperor guarding us!”
Some of the Divine Lightning Sect’s Supreme Elders recognized the identity of the elder; he was the previous Sect Master of Divine Lightning Sect.
“No wonder Lin Xuantong was personally here.”
Seeing the elder from Divine Lightning Sect appear, Lu Changsheng finally understood why Lin Xuantong had been in hiding.
The previous Sect Master of Divine Lightning Sect was an expert of the second level of the Immortal Emperor Realm!
Could it be because he was worried that Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan were not a match for the elder of Divine Lightning Sect? Was that why Lin Xuantong had been secretly protecting Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan?
“You from Divine Lightning Sect colluded with Blood Sea Palace, all because of this man. Are you going to shield him?”
Lin Qinghan rebuked the elder of Divine Lightning Sect.
“Senior sister, be careful.”
Lu Changsheng, sensing a whiff of blood from the elder of Divine Lightning Sect, knew that he had most likely also sided with Blood Sea Palace.
“Tai Hua Holy Land, what about it?”
Sure enough, the elder of Divine Lightning Sect unleashed a massive sea of blood with a wave of his palms, attacking Lin Qinghan.
Lin Qinghan brought out the Thousand Mechanism Umbrella, which emitted brilliant flames. The endless light incinerated the sea of blood, vaporizing it.
Being the Holy Maiden of Tai Hua, Lin Qinghan was formidable; even if the elder of Divine Lightning Sect was at the second level of the Immortal Emperor Realm, she wasn’t helpless against him.
The elder from Divine Lightning Sect, unlike the unparalleled geniuses from the Holy Lands, might not necessarily surpass a Quasi-Emperor Realm peerless genius even if he was at the second level of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
“Let’s join forces to deal with this man.”
Lin Qinghan activated the Thousand Mechanism Umbrella, attacking head-on.
At the same time, Lu Changsheng took out the Primordial Dao Banner.
“Two Emperor Soldiers?!”
The elder from Divine Lightning Sect had not expected Tai Hua Holy Land to be so imposing, having an Emperor Soldier for both the Holy Son and Holy Maiden.
Lu Changsheng waved the Primordial Dao Banner, covering himself with the Hunyuan Sancai Qi, disappearing into space.
“Where has he gone?!”
The elder from Divine Lightning Sect panicked as he suddenly couldn’t sense Lu Changsheng’s presence.
For powerhouses of their level, losing track of the opponent’s presence was highly dangerous.
Everyone present was in a state of panic.
They too had no idea where Lu Changsheng had gone.
The next instant, when Lu Changsheng reappeared, he was already behind the elder from Divine Lightning Sect.
Lu Changsheng brandished the Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal. The Holy Artifact emitted blue and white glows as it suppressed the elder from Divine Lightning Sect.
The opponent was a formidable figure at the second realm of Immortal Emperor, and Lu Changsheng dared not be careless, immediately employing the Emperor Soldier, hoping to strike and kill the Ancestor of the Divine Lightning Sect in one fell swoop.
“No!”
The Ancestor of the Divine Lightning Sect quickly circulated his True Qi, attempting to use his profound strength to lift the Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal.
However, the Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal, infused with Lu Changsheng’s True Qi, bore down like a crushing piece of heaven and earth.
The Ancestor of the Divine Lightning Sect, with his cultivation at the second realm of Immortal Emperor, could only barely hold up the Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal.
Distracted for a moment, the Ancestor of the Divine Lightning Sect was struck by Lin Qinghan’s Thousand Mechanism Umbrella coming straight at him.
The Thousand Mechanism Umbrella was also an Emperor Soldier, and moreover, it was one personally crafted by Lin Qinghan, with enormous power.
As the Thousand Mechanism Umbrella spun, it transformed into countless red needles, shooting forth.
“Pfft!”
The Ancestor of the Divine Lightning Sect was hit by the divine needles transformed by the Thousand Mechanism Umbrella, spewing out a massive amount of blood and his spirit wilted.
As Lin Qinghan wounded the Ancestor of the Divine Lightning Sect, Lu Changsheng also seized the chance to counterattack, pressing down with the Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal, causing the Ancestor’s figure to sink even further.
At the same time, the Ancestor of the Divine Lightning Sect was overwhelmed by the clash with two Emperor Soldiers, his face flushed red with strain; he was actually being suppressed by two juniors of lower realms than his.
Suddenly, the Ancestor of the Divine Lightning Sect bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of essence blood that transformed into a blood shadow and fled into the distance.
Realizing he was no match, the Ancestor of the Divine Lightning Sect opted to flee.
“Eld, Elder Ancestor!”
Even the Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect was stunned now.
The support he had relied upon, barely appearing on the scene, was just run off like this?
Without any mercy, Lu Changsheng pressed down with the Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal on the Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect!
The old may run, but the young cannot escape.
The Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect had broken through to the Quasi-Emperor realm by relying on Demonic Cultivation Skills, and his realm was not stable.
As the Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal struck the Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect, he fell from midair, his Dao body shattered!
Inferior to the Ancestor, the body of a Quasi-Emperor could not withstand the Emperor’s divine treasures, crushed under their overwhelming power.
The rest of the Supreme Elders of the Divine Lightning Sect affiliated with the Blood Sea Palace were also killed by the Elders of the Holy Land of Tai Hua and Grandmaster Tailin.
The entire Sect of the Divine Lightning Sect was left solemn and silent.
The leaders of the Divine Lightning Sect were effortlessly eradicated by the Holy Land of Tai Hua in a swift and decisive manner.
Indeed, the Holy Land of Tai Hua lived up to its name, easily eliminating the experts of an ordinary sect.
“Master…”
Murong Lan found her master killed, her emotions complicated.
The Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect was her master, yet had allied with the Blood Sea Palace, inviting a deadly disaster upon himself. Murong Lan could not bring herself to hate the Holy Land of Tai Hua.
“Strange…”
Lu Changsheng noted that after the Ancestor of the Divine Lightning Sect escaped, Lin Xuantong did not take timely action to prevent his escape, opting instead to follow the Ancestor.
With the abilities of Lin Xuantong, killing the Ancestor of the Divine Lightning Sect at the second realm of Immortal Emperor would not be difficult, it could even be said to be effortless.
“Our mission here was merely to eliminate those in collusion with the Blood Sea Palace; we won’t trouble the innocent. Murong Lan, from today onward, you shall be the Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect.”
“Let’s go.”
Having killed the Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect, Lu Changsheng promptly appointed Murong Lan to take over as the Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect, otherwise, with so many Loose Cultivators of the sect out of control, they might cause trouble, indirectly leading to many deaths.
Lu Changsheng took the disciples of Mount Shu and those from the Holy Land of Tai Hua to pursue Lin Xuantong and the Ancestor of the Divine Lightning Sect, leaving behind the bewildered people of the Divine Lightning Sect.
“Miss Murong, what should we do now?”
“No, she’s now the Sect Master.”
“Sect Master, what should we do?”
The crowd of the Divine Lightning Sect all turned to look at Murong Lan.
Becoming a Sect Master out of the blue, Murong Lan was also at a loss and could only say, “Business as usual. As for the vacant positions of the Supreme Elders, you few will fill in the gaps.”
In another place, Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan followed Lin Xuantong.
“Could it be that Master has discovered the person behind the Ancestor of the Divine Lightning Sect?”
Lu Changsheng quickly guessed Lin Xuantong’s intentions.
It seemed that these rulers of the Holy Lands were not only immensely cultivated but also no slouch in their tactical acumen.
Lin Qinghan said, “The direction in which the Ancestor of the Divine Lightning Sect fled is toward the royal city of the Great Qian Dynasty. Could it be that the Great Qian Martial Emperor is also involved with the Blood Sea Palace?”
“The Great Qian Dynasty…”
Having just arrived in the Immortal Realm, Lu Changsheng made his appearance in the Great Qian Dynasty. It was rumored that the Great Qian Martial Emperor was also an extraordinary genius who ascended from one of the three thousand lesser worlds and had been cultivating for over ten million years.
